The waves crashing against the sand were interrupted by Frank’s velvet voice telling me to fly away with him. I fish through my beach bag for my phone and bring it to my ear before checking the caller ID. “Hello?” “Mako! Whatcha doin’?!” The giddy voice just as soothing to me as Frank’s. I laugh at the nickname. Only one person calls me that. I don’t understand why he thinks my Shark Week obsession is so “cute”. “Ivan! I’m—“ “I know what you’re doing.” I hear the smile in his voice, but that doesn’t help the confusion. Looking around, I see no one. The sun had already set and the tourists and beach bums alike had headed home. Not hearing any more from the other end of the line, I glance at the phone. He hung up on me! It’s almost midnight anyway and I needed to get back to the hotel. I stand and begin putting my Nook, towel, and water bottle back in my bag when the sound of a horse galloping my way brings me to attention. I take a stand and see a dark figure running my way. The sudden burst of adrenaline jolts my lazy system and I take off. I hear the footsteps getting closer and know there is no way I can out run the stranger. My ragged breathing complimenting the horror I feel. I don’t live here, I have nowhere to go and my only life line just hung up on me. I felt an arm wrap around me as I was pulled to the ground. I couldn’t hold in my scream. But, the laugh I heard as I fell with the stranger didn’t seem so..stranger-like. “Gotcha!” I jumped to my feet and stomped to where Ivan lay laughing in the sand. Not just laughing, he was holding his stomach and shaking over run with a gut healthy seizure of joy. “Are you kidding me!” I couldn’t help kicking sand at him. “You realize you just gave me a mini heart attack?! Who does that?!” I huffed as I crossed my arms and plopped down beside him. His roaring amusement, which under normal circumstances would have brought a smile to my face, now resembled nails on a chalkboard. He pulled me in and squeezed me, giving me one of the best hugs I’ve ever had. For just a brief moment, I savored the rumble in his chest and the wall of muscle I was surrounded by. I pushed away and cocked my arm back, releasing all the fear that was built up in one punch to his pec. “Don’t you do that again!” “Aww, I’m sorry, Mako. Just excited to see you s’all.” “Yea, yea. How’d dinner go? Did she fall for your crazy antics and agree to a date?” I asked wagging my eyebrows. Ivan called me after some fancy dinner party talking about a woman he had met and apparently taken home. I can’t stop the bitter twinge of jealousy that spikes when he tells me about his lady friends. But he’s my best friend, it’s my duty to listen and give advice and occasionally beat him up when he scares the shit out of me. “Actually..” He starts, pinching the tender spot under my arm, “it went very well. She’s an amazing chef. Impressed everyone there, aaannnddd she did agree on a date!” “That’s awesome!” I gave him the best smile I could muster. Damn it, I love actually spending time with him and seeing that twinkle in his eyes. But, this is so much easier to tolerate when I’m back home. Miles and miles away. “What? And if you say nothing, so help me God Kayla, I will pick you up and throw you in the ocean!” I felt the wicked grin creep across my face as I looked him in the eye at the challenge and leaned in so we were nose-to-nose. “Nothing.” I whispered in the breath between us. Quicker than I could blink, he jerked towards me. Squealing, I made a feeble attempt to crawl away, but to no avail as I felt his arms wrap under my stomach and was twisted and thrown over his shoulder. My threats drowned out by his boyish laughter as I balled my hands into fists and started hitting his ass. His arm locked my body to his behind my knees and the last thing heard was an ‘I warned you’ before I was tossed into the cool waves. The salt water burned my throat and nose as I was caught under the current. Finding the sandy bottom, I planted my feet and sky rocketed up breaking the surface. Coughing and gasping for air, I kept my eyes squeezed shut and started swimming towards the hysterical laughter. Once I was able to stand without worrying about the water attacking me even more, I wiped my eyes and sent a death glare to Ivan. “You are so dead.” I hissed as I attempted a don’t-you-even-look-at-me-I’m-so-pissed walk from the ocean. Again, to no avail. I was fighting waves and an uneven bottom, so stumbling my way back to dry land kept me from looking angry. I looked down at my sundress, clinging to me like a second skin. Huffing, I pinched a piece of it to pry it off me but it snapped right back in place. Thank God I had on a bikini under it or I’d be in serious trouble. White dress plus water does not leave anything to the imagination if you’re naked underneath. “Aww, come on. You’re alright.” His arms wrapped me in another hug. “Besides we never see each other. You can’t be mad.” Ok, he had a point. We lived separate lives, busy ones at that. “And I have a treat.” He shook the keys to his Ducati in front of my face. My stomach instantly flooded with butterflies. Another favorite, bike riding. “You’re just trying to get out of that hole you dug, big guy.” “No.” I knew he was smiling without having to look. Wait for it.. “Fine. Maybe.” He tugged my ponytail. “But if you don’t hurry up, I’ll make you follow me back home anyway. And I know you want to ride. Especially, since we would get back to the brownies and milk faster that way.” I turned around and faced him, a wily grin on my face. “Did you say..brownies and milk?” I broke free of his arms and grabbed my bag. When I turned back, he was already headed to the parking lot. I raced to him as quick as I could in my confining dress. Reaching my car, I unlocked it and threw my bag inside keeping my phone and keys with me. I skipped to the beautiful set of wheels before me and blindly held out the items to Ivan to put in his pockets as we rode. Tracing my fingertips over the seat, I looked back, his smile always catching me off guard. I looked away quickly as heat rushed in my cheeks. Ivan saddled the bike and held out his hand to help me. I hiked up my dress and giggled, throwing my leg over and sliding into place behind him as he shook his head. He started the bike and I gasped as the vibration hit me in a very delicious way. “Ready?” He called out over the growl. I nodded against his back and held him tighter as we pulled out on the road. We would be breaking all kinds of laws on the ride home, and I was 100% A-Okay with that. I closed my eyes, leaning with him in the weaves between traffic. We didn’t stop once. Just kept going faster with an occasional deceleration. The wind whipping my hair into a tangled mess. I just kept my eyes closed. He was right, we never see each other. So I would enjoy every moment I got. A squeeze on my arm made me open my eyes. We must be getting close. I lifted my head and set my chin on his shoulder as we pulled into the parking garage. He whipped the bike into a spot beside his Jeep and cut the engine. The lovely pulsations from the bike coming to a stop, but the aftershocks still making me quiver. “What the hell is making you smile like that?” I snapped my attention to Ivan as he chuckled. I blushed again and ungracefully dismounted. Strutting back up to him and again resumed the same challenging position I did not so long ago. “Nothing.” I dropped my head back and laughed. He just took my hand and led me to the elevator. “You’re something else, you know that, Mako?” “I know.” The doors open and we stepped inside. I look down at our hands. I’ve got to separate myself from him. He’s my friend, and now he’s got Jaden. I’ll be heading back home tomorrow. He gave a gentle squeeze, as the doors opened to the floor of his fancy apartment. “Don’t.” I looked up as he said the word. “Don’t think about it. Not right now.” Okay, so I’m going to pretend he didn’t read my mind. Nodding, he unlocked the door and led us inside. My nerves instantly calmed as the smell of freshly baked brownies slammed into me. “You cut the brownies, I’ll get the milk.”
